JLCNY In the News

Joint Landowners of New York announce endorsements

The following is from a press release issued by the JLCNY. We are pleased with many of its endorsements, candidates who have demonstrated support for natural gas development.

Each candidate we have endorsed has shown a commitment to landowner rights and is vital in moving our agenda forward (we have not recommended a candidate in every race). Our endorsements signal the JLC’s strong belief that we should support those candidates who stand up for our rights in the face of tremendous pressure and misinformation.

This year, local elections at the county, city, town and village levels will be more important than ever. Those opposed to natural gas development are actively trying to place their candidates on local boards. Electing pro gas candidates at the local level will be crucial while we wait for our courts to determine the extent of local and state control over natural gas development. Please contact your landowner coalition for information on local elections.

Voting is a personal decision based on each individual’s experience and interests. This list is meant to inform you of the candidates who support the issues important to the JLC. However you make your decisions on the political candidates, we urge you to exercise your right to vote on November 6, 2012.
